2026 Conference Programme
Conference programmePurpose and vision
The Board Leadership Society has approximately 1,000 members from a large board network. As a member, you have free access to meet other board members 12-14 times throughout the year at our professional conferences.
The Board Leadership Society promotes its vision and ambition by organizing conferences, competence development and training of board members, participating in development projects, participating in international cooperation, and networking activities.
Networking
The purpose of The Board Leadership Society is - on a non-profit basis - to work to improve the qualifications of board work in Danish companies, organizations, and institutions and to develop professional board work as a profession and subject area. This includes national and international cooperation.
Our vision is to contribute to value creation in companies and for owners, stakeholders and society. And to contribute to knowledge and competences within board work and corporate governance becoming a competitive parameter for Denmark, Danish companies and for the benefit of the individual board and management member.
Conferences
The Board Leadership Society's many conferences focus on classic themes such as value creation, governance, board leadership, trends in board work, and current topics. See the next three conferences below. The full conference program for the half-year can be found on the member page. As a member, you have the opportunity - through participation in the association's events - to keep up to date with the board's perspective on important topics, such as the board's tasks and work with AI, ESG, the board's geopolitical considerations, trends and challenges in executive remuneration, risk management, etc. Every year, you are invited to the association's New Year's Eve party and Foundations Day.
At The Board Leadership Society's events, a topic is typically approached from a variety of perspectives - academic angles with participation from professors, board chairs, board members, top advisors in the relevant field, etc. And we value dialogue across faculty and with participants. At most conferences, you can choose between physical and virtual participation.
Most conferences take place between 17:00 and 19:00, but a small number of conferences are typically of longer duration and may be scheduled at other times. Occasionally there will also be short Board Briefs, typically between 9.30 and 10.30.
